If Looks Could Kill - Player

One look and I knew it was her, even from across the street

Took forever for the light to change in that New York heat

I didn’t want to lose her

So I reached out from behind

I wasn’t ready for her thunder

Or the fire in her eyes

If looks could kill

I wouldn’t have a breath left in me

Was she so scared of all those memories

Or did I take her by surprise?

If looks could kill

My heart would surely have stopped beating

Didn’t expect that kind of greeting

Couldn’t find one good reason why

I thought we buried the bitterness

I thought the air was clear

But there was a chill over Christopher Street

For that time of year

Was she trying to free herself

From any old thoughts of me?

Cause as we stood there face to face

It was plain enough to see…

If looks could kill

I wouldn’t have a breath left in me

Was she so scared of all those memories

Or did I take her by surprise?

If looks could kill

My heart would surely have stopped beating

Didn’t expect that kind of greeting

Couldn’t find one good reason why

If looks could kill

I wouldn’t have a breath left in me

Was she so scared of all those memories

Or did I take her by surprise?

If looks could kill

My heart would surely have stopped beating

Didn’t expect that kind of greeting

Couldn’t find one good reason why

If looks could kill

I wouldn’t have a breath left in me

Was she so scared of all those memories
